2 Thessalonians 2
1 Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to Him, we urge you
Men vi bede eder, Brødre! angående vor Herres Jesu Kristi Tilkommelse og vor Samling til ham,
2 not to be quickly shaken from your conviction or disturbed, whether by a spirit or a word or a letter as from us, as though the Day of Christ has come.
at I ikke i en Hast må lade eder bringe fra Besindelse eller forskrække hverken ved nogen Ånd eller ved nogen Tale eller Brev, der skulde være fra os, som om Herrens Dag var lige for Hånden.
3 Do not let anyone deceive you by any means; because that day cannot come unless the rebellion comes first and the man of sin is revealed, the son of ruin,
Lad ingen bedrage eder i nogen Måde; thi først må jo Frafaldet komme og Syndens Menneske åbenbares, Fortabelsens Søn,
4 who opposes and exalts himself over everything that is called a god or an object of worship, to the point of taking his seat as God in God's sanctuary, proclaiming himself to be God.
han, som sætter sig imod og ophøjer sig over alt. hvad der kaldes Gud eller Helligdom, så at han sætter sig i Guds Tempel og udgiver sig selv for at være Gud.
5 (Don't you remember that I used to tell you these things while still with you?)
Komme I ikke i Hu, at jeg sagde eder dette, da jeg endnu var hos eder?
6 So now you know what is restraining, to the end that he may be revealed at his own time.
Og nu vide I, hvad der holder ham tilbage, indtil han åbenbares i sin Tid.
7 For the mystery of the lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He removes Himself.
Thi Lovløshedens Hemmelighed virker allerede, kun at den, som nu holder tilbage, først må komme af Vejen
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and abolish by the splendor of His coming;
og da skal den lovløse åbenbares, hvem den Herre Jesus skal dræbe med sin Munds Ånde og tilintetgøre ved sin Tilkommelses Åbenbarelse,
9 that one's coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
han, hvis Komme sker ifølge Satans Kraft, med al Løgnens Magt og Tegn og Undere
10 and with all wicked deception among those who are wasting themselves, because they did not receive the love of the truth so that they might be saved.
og med alt Uretfærdigheds Bedrag for dem, som fortabes, fordi de ikke toge imod Kærligheden til Sandheden, så de kunde blive frelste.
11 Yes, because of this God will send them an active delusion so that they will believe the lie
Og derfor sender Gud dem kraftig Vildfarelse, så at de tro Løgnen,
12 and so that all may be condemned who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in wickedness.
for at de skulle dømmes, alle de, som ikke troede Sandheden, men fandt Behag i Uretfærdigheden.
13 Now we are obligated to always give thanks to God about you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you into salvation, through sanctification of spirit and belief in truth,
Men vi ere skyldige at takke Gud altid for eder, I af Herren elskede Brødre! fordi Gud har udvalgt eder fra Begyndelsen til Frelse ved Åndens Helligelse og Tro på Sandheden,
14 to which He called you through our gospel, so as to obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
hvortil han kaldte eder ved vort Evangelium, for at I skulde vinde vor Herres Jesu Kristi Herlighed.
15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, whether by word or by letter.
Så står da fast, Brødre! og holder fast ved de Overleveringer, hvori I bleve oplærte, være sig ved vor Tale eller vort Brev.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope, by grace, (aiōnios g166)
Men han selv, vor Herre Jesus Kristus og Gud vor Fader, som har elsket og givet os en evig Trøst og et godt Håb i Nåde, (aiōnios g166)
17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good word and work.
han trøste eders Hjerter og styrke eder i al god Gerning og Tale!
